Lentorama 2019: Resurrect My Globe!
Day 7: New Zealand
New Zealand has the same problem with rabbits as Australia, but rather than try to supplant bunnies with a cute native animal, people in Central Otago go on a marathon rabbit hunt instead.
The hunt is somewhat limited - groups are mostly chosen by lottery, and are assigned areas to hunt. The carnage begins on Good Friday (which seems a little on the nose) and ends at noon on Easter Sunday, by which time up to 10,000 rabbits have been given the chance to rise again on the third day. Apparently the hunt is also a fundraiser for a local hospital (not an animal hospital), so it's kind of a win-win... just not for the rabbits.
